you must be in twrp sideload mode to use ''adb sideload rom.zip''. In twrp main menu, hit ''Advanced'' then ''ADB Sideload'' then swipe to start sideload. Confirm the device is in sideload mode with ''adb devices''. It will output your SN + SIDELOAD instead of RECOVERY. So you are ready to ''adb sideload rom.zip''.

''adb install rom.zip'' ? You have to ''adb push rom.zip /sdcard/'' then hit ''install'' from twrp main menu. Select your rom.zip and swipe to flash. What rom are you trying to flash??

No! to use the .401 version you must change CID and maybe MID which both require S-OFF. The nandroid backup for your phone is HERE. BUT this is a CWM nandroid backup
so you'll need to restore it from CWM recovery if you go that route. Don't forget: You can't ''flash'' a backup like a rom! You have to extract the backp archive and adb push it to the cwm backup folder. i.e. ''adb push C:\MY_BACKUP /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup'' then select ''restore'' NOT ''install'' and choose the backup.
